Director-General of ICESCO

[...] Shusha once again meets a new appointment after being celebrated as the capital of culture of Azerbaijan in 2021, and then the capital of Turkish world culture in 2023, [...] This title earned it the proclamation of the capital of culture in the Islamic world for 2024 due to its unique character and genius, as it is rare for a city to hold the title of capital of culture for three years. Shusha has always been known for its exaltation and transcendence, as its thinkers and creators have reflected its Islamic identity.
